Have students stand in a big circle. Every other person should take one giant step inside the circle and turn around facing those in the outer circle. In other words, there should be two circles with the outer circle people facing inward and the inner circle people facing outward, and everyone should be face‐to‐face. Students in the outer circle begin by asking the student facing them on the inner circle a question. This question may be prepared by either the students themselves or the teacher. Once the inner circle student has had an opportunity to answer, either the outer or inner circle rotates and the process is repeated until a full rotation is made. Then, the inner circle has the opportunity to ask questions as the outer circle responds, and so forth.
